Hopefully this section didn't up and die. To add content, here's a model I made a short while ago. It started out at a RWD Looking small exectutive car, then I realized I had the proportions all wrong and the styling is far more conservative than I usually do

The slightly drooping side character line gives it an elegant look, though I think the waistline kicks up too much in comparison. Also, the A-pillar is thicker at the base than at the top, was that intentional?

I actually love the way the waistline and character line tend apart towards the rear. One of the most interesting and appealing silhouettes of any current compact saloon. The only fault is the A-pillar which SV mentioned in his comment. I'd like to see more detailed views of the front and back.

Oh crap, I never really noticed the A-pillar.

This entire model started out as a paint shader test, when I couldn't get the proportions for a RWD 3-series fighter right, so I kind of abandon it and used it as a test to see how I could render paint/brightwork/glass/lights better....not a heck of a lot of detail on the front and rear facias, aside from a basic outlined shape of a headlight and grille and rear lamps as well.

The drooping and ascending beltline is intentional; I thought the car was simply far too boring without some side surfacing/surface interplay to mix it up.

...Also, the A-pillar is thicker at the base than at the top, was that intentional?

between the little black plastic triangles (or mostly-useless glass triangles) in front of the front doors
and the wide black edging on many windshields,
I just thought 2o6's A-pillars were a more honest way of dealing with current (safety-mandated?) effectively-thick designs
